Genes affected

MLH1 (HGNC:7127): (mutL homolog 1) The protein encoded by this gene can heterodimerize with mismatch repair endonuclease PMS2 to form MutL alpha, part of the DNA mismatch repair system. When MutL alpha is bound by MutS beta and some accessory proteins, the PMS2 subunit of MutL alpha introduces a single-strand break near DNA mismatches, providing an entry point for exonuclease degradation. The encoded protein is also involved in DNA damage signaling and can heterodimerize with DNA mismatch repair protein MLH3 to form MutL gamma, which is involved in meiosis. This gene was identified as a locus frequently mutated in hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer (HNPCC). [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2017]

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The MLH1 c.790+1G>A variant (also known as IVS9+1G>A) disrupts a canonical splice site and has been shown to cause an in-frame skipping of exons 9-10 (PMID: 16395668 (2006)), at a level greater the alternatively spliced isoforms observed in normal cells (PMIDs: 9490293 (1998), 7728749 (1995)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.0000066 (1/152090 chromosomes, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), is consistent with pathogenicity. The variant has been reported in multiple individuals with colorectal cancer or Lynch syndrome (PMIDs: 26895986 (2016), 25133505 (2014), 25107687 (2014), 24344984 (2013), 20937110 (2010), 20305446 (2010), 17054581 (2006), 16395668 (2006), 15955785 (2005), 15849733 (2005), 11524701 (2001)). A functional study also indicates the variant causes a significant loss of DNA mismatch repair activity (PMID: 11781295 (2002)). Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

Canonical splice site variant predicted to result in a null allele in a gene for which loss of function is a known mechanism of disease; Identified in individuals with MLH1-related cancers with concordant immunohistochemistry in published literature (Cummingham et al., 2001; Ward et al., 2002; Casey et al., 2005; Sanchez de Abajo et al., 2006; Ewald et al., 2007; Sheng et al., 2009; Alvarez et al., 2010; Haraldsdottir et al., 2016); Truncating variants in this gene are considered pathogenic by a well-established clinical consortium and/or database; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 15200905, 15849733, 17440950, 16142001, 12200596, 15289847, 18692554, 18726168, 16341804, 18713544, 16276679, 12658575, 25525159, 25107687, 25133505, 25338684, 32549215, 31830689, 32294063, 17054581, 19248199, 16288214, 15955785, 20587412, 20937110, 15872200, 15713769, 9057658, 11524701, 26895986, 28874130, 28248820, 26666765, 20305446, 29887214, 30093976, 34178123, 32490589, 30787465, 16395668) -

Variant summary: The MLH1 c.790+1G>A variant involves the alteration of a conserved intronic nucleotide. One in silico tool predicts a damaging outcome for this variant. 5/5 splice prediction tools predict that this variant ablishes the 5' splicing donor site, which was confirmed by an in vitro study (Auclair_2006). This variant has been found in numerous LS patients and is absent in 115338 control chromosomes. In addition, multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases classified this variant as pathogenic. Taken together, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant causes a G to A nucleotide substitution at the +1 position of intron 9 splice donor site of the MLH1 gene. Functional RNA studies have shown that this variant causes a skipping of exons 9 and 10 (PMID: 16395668, 20937110) at a level far greater than the low-level alternate splicing reported in normal cells (PMID: 7728749, 9490293). This alternate splicing results in the deletion of amino acids 227-295 and loss of mismatch repair activity of the MLH1 protein (PMID: 11781295). This variant has been reported in individuals affected with Lynch syndrome (PMID: 15955785, 16395668, 19248199, 20937110, 25107687, 26666765, 26895986, 28874130) and colorectal cancer (PMID: 11524701,15713769). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of MLH1 function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -

The c.790+1G>A intronic pathogenic mutation results from a G to A substitution one nucleotide after coding exon 9 of the MLH1 gene. This mutation has been seen in multiple individuals with personal and family histories of colon cancer (Cunningham JM et al. Am. J. Hum. Genet. 2001 Oct;69:780-90; Rosty C et al. BMJ Open. 2016 Feb;6(2):e010293; Haraldsdottir S et al. Fam. Cancer 2016 Apr;15(2):253-60; Rossi BM et al. BMC Cancer 2017 Sep;17(1):623). In addition, a functional study utilizing RNA from an individual carrying this mutation found that it leads to skipping of coding exons 9 and 10 (Auclair J et al. Hum. Mutat. 2006 Feb;27:145-54; Ambry internal data). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, alterations that disrupt the canonical splice site are expected to cause aberrant splicing, resulting in an abnormal protein or a transcript that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is classified as a disease-causing mutation. -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 9 of the MLH1 gene. RNA analysis indicates that disruption of this splice site induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or altered protein product. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with Lynch syndrome and colorectal cancer (PMID: 11524701, 15849733, 15955785, 17054581, 20937110, 24710284). Invitae Evidence Modeling of clinical and family history, age, sex, and reported ancestry of multiple individuals with this MLH1 variant has been performed. This variant is expected to be pathogenic with a positive predictive value of at least 99%. This is a validated machine learning model that incorporates the clinical features of 1,370,736 individuals referred to our laboratory for MLH1 testing. This variant is also known as IVS9+1G>A. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 90356). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of variants on gene product structure and function are not available or were not evaluated for this variant. Experimental studies have shown that disruption of this splice site affects MLH1 function (PMID: 11781295). Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site results in skipping of exon 9, and produces a non-functional protein and/or introduces a premature termination codon (PMID: 16395668; internal data). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
